Introduction to DNA self-assembled computer design

The use of DNA self-assembly in microchip fabrication may well revolutionize computing, and this trail-blazing book is the first to bridge the gap between current chip technology and the molecular-scale circuitries that lie ahead. Itexplores the latest breakthroughs in the use of DNA as construction material,and maps out a method for developing DNA self-assembled computer systems thatincludes detailed design case studies. Probing both the science and the engineering involved, this one-of-a-kind resource reviews current microchip fabrication methods and architectures and discusses fundamentals of nanoscale design and DNA self-assembly. Moreover, the book surveys current limitations and challenges, and features detailed case studies of lightweight self-organizing computer architectures. INDICE: Introduction. DNA Self-Assembly. Self-Assembled Circuitry and Design. Technological Implications and Architectural Challenges. A Nanoscale Active Network Architecture. A Self-Organizing Defect Tolerant SIMD Architecture. Temporal Aspects of Computing. At-Fabrication Computing (or Build-Time Computation). Next Steps and Concluding Remarks. Appendix: Current Practices in DNA Nanostructure Synthesis.
